Suspension of sales to the EU

Please note – sales to EU countries are suspended as of 17 June 2021. This is because, from 1 July 2021, EU countries are collecting VAT on all imports, including those below the previous VAT-free level of €22.  If this VAT is not collected at point of sale, items may be stopped at the border and buyers will be liable for the import VAT and probably a handling charge as well.  And as I am only a private individual, I cannot access the Delcampe mechanism that allows professional sellers to charge VAT.  I apologise to EU customers for this situation.

Postage & packing charges

The tables below show my postage charges, based on current Royal Mail world zones.   Royal Mail prices are changing on 7 April 2025 - including an increase from £2.80 to £3.20 for the smallest items - but I am holding all my prices at their current rate for the moment.

Charges for postcards and other small items are given in the first table.

For larger items, I show the shipping weight at the end of the item description as either 100g large letter, 250g large letter, or 500g large letter (these are Royal Mail terms). This should allow you to check the expected postage charge on the relevant table. 

Please note - items valued at £20 or above will be sent tracked for the prices shown below (Tracked 24 or 48 for UK, International Tracked for overseas, if service is available).   This is to provide additional reassurance and security for buyers as well as myself.   Items valued below £20 will be sent 2nd class UK and normal airmail overseas, for the prices shown below.

If you need to double check which zone your country is in, see this Royal Mail page.

I will combine shipping for multiple items when I send you the payment request.

I usually post within 1-2 working days.

If anything is not clear, please contact me via Delcampe.

Please remember that overseas buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. All items will be fully described on a Royal Mail Customs Form as 'sale of goods', with the full value of the items quoted.

All items are packed with protective plastic wallets or similar, inside card-backed envelopes. For large items/lots, I will put these inside padded envelopes as well.

Charges for postcards or other small items

Up to four normal size postcards can usually be sent at these rates. I will confirm the cost when I send you the payment request.
